BPN Expert Pool - Become a member

The BPN Expert Pool offers you a platform to contribute your business expertise and technical know-how as part of our seminar and coaching offering. You can choose between on-site engagement in a BPN country (face-to-face seminar, face-to-face consulting) or online support in the form of a webinar or online coaching.

As a member of the BPN Expert Pool...

  • you have many years of professional experience and technical know-how in a business-related subject area.

  • show openness towards different cultures and people.

  • you have experience as a speaker and convey learning content as practically as possible, integrating your wealth of experience and concrete case studies.

  • design your lessons interactively according to didactic principles of modern adult education.

  • Link your input to the existing content of the BPN basic and additional seminars in the best possible way. The BPN Expert Pool Coordinator will provide you with helpful advice and support.

  • adapt your teaching material to local conditions, if necessary.

  • you are ready to cooperate with the BPN Foundation in the long term and to give a developed seminar/webinar at least 1x per year.

  • your seminars/webinars can be given in German or English. We organize the translation.

On-site deployment or webinar

An on-site assignment usually takes 5 working days, excluding travel days and preparation time. In doing so, you combine your seminar with company visits and individual coaching. For face-to-face seminars, a time frame of 1-4 working days (max. 6 teaching hours per day) is provided.

A webinar preferably extends over 2 working days of 2 teaching hours each. It is possible to combine the webinar with individual online coaching on the subject matter taught. If desired, we can provide you with our "BPN Webinar Studio" in Bern for your webinar.

Possible topics (not exhaustive)

At the moment we are primarily looking for experts in the areas of:

  • Operation optimization
  • Factory Planning
  • Process & Quality Management
  • Product Development & Innovation
  • Internationalization & Export
  • Business Ethics
  • Strategic corporate management
  • Calculation
  • HR Management
  • Organizational Development
  • Project Management

Target group

As a speaker of the BPN Expert Pool, you will meet a very demanding audience of experienced managing directors, entrepreneurs and executives. They will evaluate your input primarily on the basis of its practical relevance and whether they can implement the knowledge you impart in their day-to-day business.

Member of the BPN - Expert Pool, CCO BMQ Partners AG

"BPN is starting in exactly the right place: With the entrepreneurs who secure jobs, economic stability and a future for their country.

I am pleased to be able to make a small contribution to the success of committed entrepreneurs in the Expert Pool on the topic of "Positive Communication". Positive communication works in all countries and in every language. It costs nothing, boosts business and strengthens relationships."

Compensation

For a 5-day on-site assignment, a lump-sum compensation of CHF 4,000 is provided. The lump sum includes preparation and travel costs. Accommodation and catering costs on site are to be borne by BPN.

A flat fee of 700 CHF is provided for the preparation and implementation of a webinar.

Those of the participant documents are covered by BPN.

Our experience from completed BPN Expert Pool assignments shows that a BPN Expert Pool assignment is extremely meaningful and exciting, but the preparation effort for an input tends to be underestimated.
